01Fulltone OCD / High-Gain Crunch Distortion
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned
The Yamaha GS practice amplifier is an obscure, ultra-basic solid-state unit with limited two-band EQ controls and lack of built-in heavy high-gain crunch, so controls for mid and presence are set to null. Ghost's sound relies on a cranked British tube stack, which this amp cannot produce alone without severe fizz; thus, a British-voiced distortion pedal like an OCD or crunch box is recommended while keeping the amp on a clean, low-gain platform. Use the bridge humbucker on your EG 112C with tone wide open to match the output and bite of Ghost's Gibson RD.
